These few days happen to be the day when Tianluomen recruits disciples this year. This year, more than 100 candidates were recruited, and most of the disciples were between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Taichu was nine years old, a little younger, he was already short, and he looked even weaker.

Tianluomen used to be a sect comparable to the Shenji Gate, although it is now in decline, and it is also very low-key. But in this Zhou Kingdom, it is still the most powerful sect except for the Divine Machine Sect and the Zhou Kingdom. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, as long as the martial arts family is there, the inheritance is there, and the heritage is there. Tianluomen's exercises are superior exercises, and this is not something that a sect can have if they want to get it. There is no fairness in the rivers and lakes, some people are born to shout the golden key, just like the Shenji Gate, the disciples of the door are not angry, and they rely on the exercises left by their ancestors, and they are still powerful martial arts. But the golden key does not mean eternity, if your background is not as good as others, you have a magic weapon that is more successful than them, that is, to work harder than others.

There are only three martial emperors in the Zhou State, which are Tang Lie, the head of the Shenji Gate, Zhou Chong, the king of the Zhou State, and Wu Cheng, the head of the Tianluo Gate. It's just that in terms of numbers and financial strength, it is far inferior to Zhou Guo and Shenjimen. The Zhou state had an army of more than a million. The Divine Machine Gate has more than 100,000 disciples, but the Tianluo Gate only has more than 1,000 people. But it is still stronger than the various families of the Zhou Kingdom. Even if he is now living in seclusion in the mountains, he is quite famous in Tang Wu City. Many families are willing to send their disciples to Tianluomen to fight for a chance for the revitalization of the family. In particular, Tianluomen is friendly with Zhou Guo, and it is even more involved with Mu Guo, and Tianluomen is a shortcut and springboard for them. If you enter the Divine Machine Gate, it is clear that you are against the Zhou Kingdom, and this is a choice that every martial artist must face.

Tianluomen also used to be a gate sect, and all kinds of door rules and systems were complete. There is also a fairly complete assessment process for collecting disciples. New disciples are recruited at this time of year, and the registration time limit is one month. It was the last day of the first coming. If it's a day late, you'll have to wait until next year.

Wu Cheng took Taichu to the sect to receive some daily necessities, but the clothes were not satisfactory, and the other candidate disciples signed up early, all of them were clothes prepared according to their body shapes, only Taichu did not, and the smallest one still looked fat, which was very funny. He was two or three years younger than the youngest candidate disciple, and he was also small, so he could only make do with it.

Taichu returned to the dormitory, there was already a disciple inside, Wu Yang brought Taichu in, told the two of them a few words, and asked the disciple a few words before leaving. Taichu entered the door and put down his things and cleaned up the bed.

The disciple took the initiative to talk: "Hello junior brother, I am also a newcomer, my name is Song Agou, I am twelve years old this year, what is your name? How old are you?"

Taichu has developed a habit of talking less and listening more over the years, but he can't help but answer, and said, "Hello senior brother, my name is Li Taichu, and I'm nine years old." Song Agou said: "Where is your family? So little father and mother sold you? It seems that the family must be very poor." ”

When Taichu heard this, he muttered in his heart: "You were sold here?"

Song Agou said: "That's natural, my family is very poor, I can't afford to eat, someone from this sect went to us to recruit disciples, saying that a doll will give two taels of silver, and my father and mother let me come, so it can't be regarded as a sale." ”

Ah Gou doesn't know, even if it is to sell children, not every child has a chance, and the child itself has good roots. Tianluomen was already short of funds and could not support the expenses of too many disciples, so he could only think of this way to improve the quality of his disciples.

Taichu said: "I am similar to you, and I only have my mother at home." Song Agou said: "I guess is, if the family is still passable, who will send the baby to suffer in the deep mountains, these more than 100 miles of deep mountains, there is no road, and it is difficult to escape." When Taichu heard this, this doll seemed to be very reluctant to enter the sect, and asked, "Why did you want to escape? Isn't it here to practice martial arts?"

Song Agou looked reluctant, and said: "What do you do to practice martial arts, it's hard and tiring, how can you be at ease at home, have partners, have parents, and go wherever you want." The mother bird under the eaves of my house has laid eggs, and the little bird should break its shell these days!" said Ah Gou, with a thoughtful look. Then he said: "I've been here for more than ten days, and I don't allow you to go out casually here." The outer disciples were not allowed to enter the inner gate, let alone leave the sect, and the senior brothers who started first always bullied us, and they had to help them wash clothes, chop wood, brush shoes, and clean the yard, and I wanted to go home. A few tears fell as he spoke.

This is human nature, children are willing to follow their parents, even if they are hungry and suffering, their hearts are happy. But parents want their children to be fed and clothed, and hope to become dragons and phoenixes, so why don't the parents of a dog miss their children? In the hearts of parents, when a child enters the sect, he or she has entered heaven, at least he is not hungry or frozen, and he does not have to go hungry with him.

Taichu was also distressed when he saw Ah Gou's appearance, and comforted a few words: "In the future, we will be brothers in the same sect, and we will eat and live together more like brothers, and I will protect you." ”

That Song Agou burst into tears and smiled: "Thank God that you don't want me to take care of you, and you still come to protect me?"

This dog is three years older than Taichu, and he is nearly a head taller, and it seems that he often does farm work at home, and he is very strong, hey, hey, hey, Although the facial features are not handsome, they are also upright, a typical peasant doll.

Taichu smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Brother Dog here first." ”

While the two were talking, someone suddenly shouted outside the door: "Dog, come out!" Ah Gou hurriedly ran out, and the man saw Ah Gou, threw a few clothes to him, and then said: "You are really free, hurry up and wash my clothes." Ah Gou nodded and bowed, but the man muttered and left, and Ah Gou came in with his clothes. "Who is this man?" asked Tai Chu. Ah Gou looked helpless: "It's the disciple of the last session, the follower of the first place in the last annual martial arts competition, here every student will have a class competition every six months, and rank, I came a few days earlier than you, and I suffered a lot, you follow me in the future, so as not to suffer again." ”

Ah Dog is a warm-hearted person, and Taichu's relationship with him is a little closer. It was getting late, and Ah Gou took Taichu to the dining hall to eat. The food is naturally very poor, two steamed buns per person, pickles are limited, there are those who can grab, and those who can't grab them are not.

The two brothers received the steamed buns, and as the two of them, where did they dare to grab pickles, they were very happy to have steamed buns to eat. Ah Gou was about to eat the steamed bun when someone shouted, "Dog, don't let me teach you what to do." ”

Listening to the voice, I knew at first that it was the disciple who asked Ah Gou to wash his clothes. Ah Gou was already trembling with fright, and it seemed that he had been beaten a lot. Taichu spoke: "What should I do, I still need senior brother's guidance!"

The disciple tilted his head and looked at it, and said with disdain: "Each of you two hands over a steamed bun." Before he could finish speaking, Ah Gou didn't resist at all, and honestly handed over the bun. Here, everyone can't get enough to eat, and steamed buns are better than silver.

Taichu hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the man was a big slap, and Taichu's eyes were full of stars, and he said: "It seems that I really want Lao Tzu to teach you." If you want your bun to look up to you, you are reluctant, new here, right?" he said, he still approached, and said viciously: "Lao Tzu will teach you how to honor your senior brother today." "When I came up and grabbed two steamed buns, I had to add my fists and feet.

Xinlan and Lear love their children very much on weekdays, never beat or scold, after Lear's death, Xinlan redoubled her love for children, although Taichu is not pampered, she is the heart and soul of her mother. Don't say that you beat him, even if the child is happy, the mother will make him laugh. Moreover, Taichu was also born with a very stubborn character. He has also practiced foreign kung fu in the past two years. With his fists clenched, he rushed towards the disciple and used a black tiger to dig out his heart.

Seeing that the little doll dared to resist, the man took the initiative to rush towards him, not angry but laughing: "Haha, interesting, let me see what you are capable of!"

Although this Taichu kung fu was not very good, and he was not even considered a beginner, but he was born with divine power, and five or six children of the same age together were not as strong as him, and he actually beat the man back two steps with one fist, and almost fell! He steadied himself and rushed up, about to make a move.

Ah Gou hurriedly stepped forward to intercede, the grandfather and ancestor were respectful, and the man also muttered in his heart, why is this guy so vigorous, could it be that he started with kung fu? Everyone has a fear of the unknown, and he was also suppressed by the recklessness of the beginning, kicked Ah Gou away, and scolded angrily: "Let you go today, and you will learn to be a man in the future." "Ah Dog is a thousand thanks.

When the two returned to the room, Taichu didn't have a bun, and Ah Gou still had a bun, so he grinned and broke half of it to Taichu. Obviously, it is also painful, he is from a farmer's family, his physical strength is strong, he can eat, this one steamed bun is enough to eat, every day when he is hungry, he wants to eat people, a few days ago he wanted to go to the mountains to hunt some game, but he didn't expect to be allowed to go out, but he was taught a lesson by the senior brother who guarded the door.

Taichu took half of the bun, thanked him, and didn't say much, but ate it in a few bites. Then he asked, "How can you live in this two-person room in a separate courtyard?" Ah Gou said, "I, it's luck." This sect was originally very poor, and there were not enough houses, but it had recently accepted a lot of disciples, more than 20 of them, and the houses were all occupied. I came late and didn't have a place to stay. This small courtyard was originally reserved by the hall master for his own people, so he had to arrange me here first, and I think that's why you came here. Taichu nodded.

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Ah Gou said: "How do our peasant family know what martial arts is, and we haven't had the opportunity to practice martial arts before we get here." This sect is mainly based on internal exercises, and there is no way to learn it secretly. Someone in the martial arts arena contacted some basic skills of horse steps or something, and I also practiced with them, and spent more time washing and chopping wood, and had no time to go to the martial arts arena. After chatting for a while, the two of them rested.

In the remaining two days, the attendant came a few times to arrange the miscellaneous work of laundry, chopping wood and cleaning, Taichu's biggest advantage over Lear is that he knows forbearance, he also knows that the first two days are a little reckless, easy to form grudges, and be calculated, that person did not find trouble with Taichu again, and Taichu worked with a dog. The rest of the time, the two went to the martial arts arena to learn some basic skills from others.

A few days before coming to Tianluomen, Taichu had something on his mind, after all, he didn't know if he could get started with learning arts, he didn't sleep well, and he was tired from the journey.

Seek with businessmen, lose money, and conspire with power, and die! Tai Chu entered this sect is full of tigers and wolves, and he can be safe and worry-free?
